HOW IT WAS.

In yesterdays issue some reference Yves
made to some shooting near the corner of
Fourth avenue and Lewis street, which oc-
CURED late Sunday night.
Mr. c. W. Keenan, called at the EAGLE
counting room last evening and offered q
very satisfactory explanation Of the matter.
He lives near the location named, and as a
result of the warm night he and his family
and fat her in-law, who Is visiting him. re
tired with the front door ajar. About $50
o'clock his father-in-law saw a man cross the
floor of the room in which Mr.. Keenan, was
sleeping He started for the street with a
pair OF pants When out of the building he
informed Mr. Keenan, of the late presence Of
the thief y no, armed with revolver, started
after the thief Reaching the street ne gave
the command halt, when the thief replied by
firing a. him Mr.. keenan, exchanged the
courtesy, and when the firing had ceased the
thief had fired three shots and got OUT of
sight, and Mr.. Keenan, had fred six times.
The thief dropped the pants, but it is feared
that be was not touched by lead

ENCROACHMENTS.

The different surveys of the city is causing
con siderable trouble in giving DR.. White
lock his exact location on South Main street.
As stated by gentleman yesterday, the city
engineer some time ago gave Mr.. Tom Jewell
the location for his building. The survey
made for DR.. Whitlock S building, which adj
joins the Butler building on the south, showed
that the Butler building encroaches on the
DR.. Whitlock lot twenty-three inches. Mr..
Butler, not satisfied with that, engaged Mr..
Baily to make the survey which yesterday
decided that the Butler building was thirty
four inches north of where it ought TO be.
The matter is giving considerable trouble
on South Main, and no one seems able TO sug-
gest a remedy. The council seems booked
for a thorough investigation of that subject
in the near future, and many are they who
are holding up their handsfavoring the work
mapped out

BOUNCING THE POLES.

A gentleman who owns brick block on
Main street, between Douglas avenue and
English street, was heard yesterday speaking
of the curbing and guttering of South Main
street. AS is known, the contract for doing
that work was let some weeks ago 1t is also
provided that the sidewalks on Main street,
along the section which it is proposed to curb
and gutter are to be made twelve feet wide.
The gentleman in speaking of the matter
stated that the electric light poles and tele-
graph poles on that section of Main street
were nine and ten feet from the buildings on
either side. When the curbing and guttering
was done the sidewalks would take in these
poles which he did not think would be a very
handsome ornament for the sidewalks and
would not give satisfaction to many pedes-
trians who would be DESTROYS Of using the
entire twelve feet Of sidewalk, that not being
any too much ROOM
The gentleman thought it quite probable
that petition would be circulated asking
the council 20 invite the telegraph and electric
poles to vacate the sidewalk

ADOLPH WlEGAND.

In the death of Adolph Wiegand, which
recently occurred, the city lost true and
earnest supporter his family loving father
and husband, his friends true and staunch
friend.
Mr.. Wiegand came to Wichita from st.
Louis in 1871 and entered with earnestness
into the life and business of his adopted city.
He was always found willing and ready to
lend helping hand to every enterprise of
merit; he was very liberal in his support OF
churches and religion, and today many OF
the edifices of the city owe not little to his
liberality. He was at one time member OF
the city council; was president of that body
and acting mayor Of the city.
HISS career has been an eventful one The
Youngest oftwelve children, and by the death
of his father. German official, when young
! Adolph was but five years of age, he was left
| to the care of kind and loving mother.
| He was educated in the German school with
| the thoroughness that characterized educa-
tion in that country. He could speak and
| write fuently four different languages and
was throughout his life close and diligent
scholar and reader.
At 16 years of age he came to America and
with brother engaged in business in Mexico,
but by the downfall of Macmillan, he with
other for eigners was compelled to leave the
country. Returning from Mexico to st.
Louis, he then learned of Wichita and COM
ing here engaged in business in partnership
with his life long friend, Mr.. Schneider. The
partnership although after several years end
ed yet the friendship of the two men was
| that of brothers.
| He was taken i'll, it was supposed at first,
with only slight ailment but this disease
culmin ated into typho-marlaria and brought
him to the grave He retained his conscious
ness almost to the last, speaking with tender
ness and love of his friends and family.
He leaves widow and two charming little
| girls aged ard 9; their son and first born
being dead.
Mr. Weigand was an honorable, upright
man possessed of many sterling traits of
character. Always ger circus, liberal and
kind, he had many warm and true friends
hut no enemies.

LAWN FETE.

Last evening a lawn fete was given by the
Women's Guild at the residence of Mrs.
Bonny on North Topeka. The yard was ell
egantly lighted up with japanese lanterns
and presented a very beautiful appearance.
A platform was erected in the yard and
those who chose danced to the music OF
Shaw's orchestra. There was good sized
crowd of young people present and the affair
was attended with that success which has
usually graced entertainments given by st.
Johns

NOT YET.
The Site For the Burton stock Gar Mahui1e
ure as Yet Undetermined.


ure IS let Undetermined.
The site question relating to the burton
stock car works revived yesterday ana
commanded the major part of public atten-
ZION. 1t being the day on which the matter
was booked for q settlement caused the many
who were interested to give the question
an attention more than the average. Du'
few were found who were not ready 10 Dear
the latest on the question. Some were per
fectly satisfied that the enterprise had Deem
secured for the city and care little for the
site.
as is usually the case the Spectator was In
the front rank of those giving the quesolon
close attention, He would run from place 10
place making inquiry. and If he should per-
chance meet fellow who he presumed was
ON the inside of affairs he would approach
him with uncovered head and tell him hrst
probably how much love he had always nao
in store for him then inadvertently speak
about the Burton car works he "ouio
coon arrived at the conclusion that the site
nusetion was about to be settled ana ne
would make a strong guess hoping to get the
t-st idea on the subject held in store by the
one lately accosted. The slightest indication
| that something of Importance had developed
would cause the smartie to exert ninlseH 10
his utmost to elicit something that might run
| nickle in his pocket.
So it was all day long but little news OF
value ESCAPED as nothing had developed. In
conversation on the subject Mr.. ). oak
| Davidson stated last evening that the matter
would not be decided until today and posi-
bly not until tomorrow. At that tlme IL
was a question whether the bid coming from
the west side would be considered. 1t seemed
that suitable railroad facilities had not Sc
far been provided for to allow consloera
ton of that bid. An effort for that was
still being made and it was possible Ina'
matters would be so adjusted that IL "oulu
receive consideration.
The bid from the west sioe
is a very creditab,e one and is the result OF
some earnest work on the part of some OF the
enterprisipg men interested there.
Mr.. Perkins visited the south side bid yes
terday and expressed himself as very mucf
| pleased with the proposed site. The dram
ings and water facilities were almost perfect
and good railroad facilities had been secured
AS is known near a week ago the bid IRON
that section amounted to between 4tO ano
500 acres of land For few days little was
added but yesterday work was renewed witt
increased vigor and that amount increased
very considerably. Messrs. William Main
ewson, N A. English, Kinkaid and mum
Der of other men are working up the bid. Las
evning they asked that another day be giver
for work and that was partially the cause Of
the postponement.
The north end men were working yester
day harder than ever. Their bid last eve
ming amounted to over four hundred acres
of land plus several thousand dollars In cash
The major part Of. that bid was made up yes
terday.
The merits of the bids will be decided upor
nv Mr.. Davidson. He stated last evening
that personally he had no interests at stake
and the best bid would be awarded the Bur
ton car works.
